The step changes in our economic reality caused by the pandemic have led to a megatrend relating to remote working and productivity enabled by the powerful modern Internet and smart solutions we have to hand.
Remote working has proven to be an effective and productive model for employees, with many organisations re-evaluating their operational models to embed a more sustainable and permanent approach to working from home.

Instead, it has translated into considerable savings on real estate rental and maintenance costs, as well as having a positive effect on societal issues such as road congestion and pollution.
Agility, cost-efficiency and security are critical to ensuring the distributed workforce enjoys an enterprise-grade experience, consistently. This introduces advanced collaboration, document sharing and remote engagement tools that connect people across multiple locations and continents.
